Ultimate_Game Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Before the World Cup kicks off, wanted to share this piece from US' one of the most popular satirical sports site (grantland). It's a must read if you're a cricket fan and especially if you're an Indian or Pakistan supporter. This long take is from the 2011 Ind-Pak WC semifinal. Parts related to Afridi and Gul are hilarious. http://grantland.com/features/so-cricket-maybe/
amiret Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 " We are told that the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium — the pride of Mohali, India and the site of this semifinal match — is “one of the great venues” in all of cricket. The shots of the stadium grounds make this statement seem like the rantings of a lunatic. The field is cracked and patchy and threadbare. It makes the Oakland Coliseum look like Roland Garros. This makes us sad for cricket. Whether we end up liking cricket or not, we are sure the sport deserves to have greater venues." Rajkot , Kanpur , Ahmedabad, Gwalior , Kochi ...other great venues.
